Wheat wine. how unusual. Have you ever tried making it. I agree, it is very special to have a hand written recipe of your great-grandmother. Have you framed it as a decorative item or do you store it carefully away from the sun?

I have never heard of wheat wine. How nice that you have this hand-written recipe. I still have several from my grandmother that I treasure as much for the fact it represents a piece of her, as for the recipe itself.

I have never heard of wheat wine, but I love the handwritten recipe on worn paper :) I saved my Grandma's, too, and have then framed in my kitchen, can just picture her writing them out, too! I can see why that is a very treasured possession!

It is a real treasure and it currently lives in my study out of the sunlight, although I would love to get it framed.

I have never tasted it. I asked my Mum if she had and she said yes. My Grandfather had a bottle that he had saved. It had been made 10 years previously and the family took it to the wedding of my Mum's cousin. They had it at the wedding. It was so strong Mum said it almost took your head off!

Just where we would buy wheat from locally I am not sure, but will investigate and try and make it.

About Me

I am a Surrey girl, who is very proud of her roots, which go back almost 300 years in Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire. I currently live in the West Country of England, but Surrey is always home! I am also half Italian and thus have an interest in Italian culture and genealogy.

After a career in pharmacy management spanning more than 20 years, I made the decision to look at my options as to where my professional life was heading. I wanted to expand my work portfolio within the training and writing arena; to utilise my historical and research skills along with other qualifications and years of experience. I created The Book of Me, Written by You back in the Autumn of 2012. It threads together the focus of my interests and qualifications. Enabling me to encourage others to think beyond the obvious as we analyse our own lives and those of our close family members.
